A Tennessee funeral home has created a different way for people to say goodbye to their dearly departed loved ones.

Ryan Bernard tells localmemphis.com, he created the drive-thru viewing option after seeing it in California. Four families have already tried the service, which is free with a funeral package. Bernard says the families who have used the option, “loved it.”

"We've been getting rave reviews. We've had people actually just pull up drive-thru just had a curiosity they didn't even know the person who passed,” Bernard said.

The drive-thru service is available only during visitation hours at the Memphis funeral home. The location is under 24-hour security surveillance to ensure the viewing goes as smoothly as possible.

“Some people, they don't want to deal with the hassle, the chaos of a large funeral; parking, especially with inclement weather, so that was an extra convenience for those,” adds Bernard.

The funeral home also offers a live stream for mourners who are unable to attend a service in person.
